Title

Gimp: gimp: out-of-bounds write in gimpressionist plugin via crafted preset file

Summary

A flaw was found in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted GIMPressionist preset file, the plug-in does not properly validate vector indices before writing into fixed-size arrays. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory. An attacker could exploit this by convincing a user to load a malicious preset file, potentially causing a crash or enabling arbitrary code execution.

Severity

7.8 (High)

Vulnerability from osv_almalinux – Published: 2026-10-05 00:00 – Updated: 2026-10-06 09:59 – Source website

Summary

Important: gimp security update

Details

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program. GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

Security Fix(es):

gimp: gimp: out-of-bounds write in lighting effects plugin via crafted preset file (CVE-2026-90947)
gimp: gimp: heap-based buffer overflow in ICO loader via integer overflow in embedded PNG dimensions (CVE-2026-90948)
gimp: integer overflow when generating a thumbnail preview for a PSD file (CVE-2026-92248)
gimp: gimp: out-of-bounds write in GIMPressionist plugin via crafted preset file (CVE-2026-97185)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
